re: #276 Fozzie Bear

There is no obligation to forgive people when they apologize. We aren’t all catholic priests in the confession booth. It is often reasonable to dismiss an apology as bullshit, especially when the person in question REPEATEDLY says things very similar to the statement for which he was criticized initially, both before and after the “apology”.

Sure, but you don’t get to make up things. Beck NEVER said that his comment about the President was a joke. He said EXACTLY the opposite. He said that he apologized for it (many times). I couldn’t give a shit if you forgive him, I just think you should be honest about what he really said.

He says a lot of shit you can attack him for, but saying that he was joking about the President being a racist isn’t one of them. He has been clear that the comment shouldn’t have been said. He has been clear that he regrets it.

“It shouldn’t have been said; it was poorly said; I have a big fat mouth sometimes, and I say things, … and that’s not the way people should behave, and it was not accurate,”

And I say that anyone without sin should throw the first rock.
